Reflecting on being the adult daughter of a narcissistic mother, and trying to break the cycle for my own children.

new blog: narcissistic mother

I just noticed a new blog, Narcissistic Mother, which is all of three posts old right now. The author is Michelle Piper, a licensed family therapist. I'm not sure what this blog will amount to yet, but I'm intrigued, and I'll be keeping an eye on it.

About Claire

I'm a forty-year-old idealist, artist, mother of three children, and member of a long line of dysfunctional families headed by a narcissistic parent and an enabling spouse. My goal is to do my best to break the chain and create a healthier future for myself, my children, and my marriage. In wading through the unfamiliar territory of separating from the tribe of my birth and learning how to build my own, more loving tribe, I have discovered the importance of people telling their stories. These are my experiences as the adult child of a narcissist (ACON). I hope you'll share yours.
